[Hallicrafters] Another dumb question-Capacitor Checkers

[Glen Zook]

I have a capacitor checker but don't usually use it. 
Frankly, whenever I run into a paper capacitor in a
"boat anchor" I replace it with an orange drop. 
Fortunately, mica and ceramic capacitors don't go bad
that often.

As for buying one, the Ohmite Tele-Mike series are
often found at reasonable prices and do a pretty good
job.  I have a Conar, but I bought it more as a
collector's piece than to use it.  However, for a
"cheap-O", it does a fair job.  I did own an Ohmite
for a while but the offer that I got for it was too
good to turn down.

is a capacitor checker useful enough to warrant buying
one and if so any recommendations on which one/s to get?
